Chapter 25: If It Doesn't Suit Me, I'll Just Replace It

“Pengfei, have you prepared everything for the wedding?”
“All set,” Dong Pengfei replied casually.

Since his father was influential and all three brothers-in-law were wealthy, there was a whole team handling the wedding arrangements.

Big or small matters, the groom himself didn’t need to get involved.

For some reason, Dong Pengfei still said to Ji Manrou, “After all, she is your eldest sister. She must have been mistreated by the Gu family, which is why she’s like this. As her younger sister...”

Amid Quetos’s astonished gaze, a humanoid figure molded from earth slowly rose from the mud, its form gradually refining until it stood tall and imposing, its body adorned with dark red, eerie tattoos.

From afar came agonized screams, and Ling Jiutian’s figure vanished. But upon reaching the place, only pools of blood remained.

Because Xing Haibin was about to leave, he wouldn’t pose any threat to Gu Zhao in the near future, nor did he intend to.

Just moments ago, fiery and thunderous, Meng Xue suddenly grew sorrowful: “Let them complain all they want. I’ve lost the will to live; what do I care anymore?” Saying this, she unexpectedly broke down in tears.

At that moment, the living room in the room was completely cleared of tables and chairs! In their place was a massive cocoon, resembling that of a silkworm.

Suddenly, a sound like a bell struck sharply rang out. Griffins and Ruo Chen felt their souls hammered violently, their vision blurred, and their ears filled with a buzzing roar.

This was the plan Han had conceived. He had just noticed that Jin Xiang’s footsteps were a bit light, likely due to injury.

“Hmph!” The paired sword swung forward again, its blade whistling through the air. But the snow leopard suddenly opened its bloodshot jaws wide and, with claws working in tandem, struck the paired sword, knocking it away and engaging in a fierce struggle with Mo Li.

The stone cave district, once a bustling scenic attraction, had been closed by local authorities after natural conditions worsened, to protect the ancient grotto relics from further damage.

How could this be? Lu Zhe felt both amused and annoyed, but Lin Jiang’s words made him realize.

Everything—the entire performance—was just an act to finally lock the Liu family members in the firewood shed. Even the act of splitting the table’s corner with a single strike was merely to impress the Liu father and son, so they would understand just how sharp the blade truly was.

Compared to Wan Qiu standing beside Wu Yurui, Wan Qiu appeared very ordinary—almost unimaginably plain.

Recalling the earlier words, Hai Ge was utterly baffled, thinking, “You’re an alien; I don’t even know you. This is my first time here, so how could I be competing with wolves for bread?”

“Knock knock—” With his ear pressed to the door, Li Cai almost had his eardrums shattered by the pounding.

Wei Dong looked at Wan Qiu silently. Now, Wei Dong no longer felt any resentment towards him. Back then, Wei Dong had suspected that Master Yang and Wan Qiu shared some special relationship, which explained Yang’s respect for Wan Qiu.

Dong Yi, panicked, rushed to find Xu Qingpei for advice, but the latter was nowhere to be seen. Only the fool Qiao Yimei was nervously pacing nearby.

Hai Ge slammed on the brakes and stopped abruptly, suddenly remembering that he was still inside the nanorobot-constructed holographic solar system. Once outside the sunlight’s range, everything turned pitch black. If he recklessly charged ahead and fell into a narrow fissure barely wide enough for a person, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, one person here was different—Wang Kun. Since he had long since fallen out with Wan Qiu, he could only side with Wan Jun.

“Alright, it’s probably people from the Golden Triangle. They’ve likely had their eyes on Dao Sanbu and his group for a while!” He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a couple of drags, and said, anger rising in his chest. The Golden Triangle’s reach was truly insidious.
